The latest update to the CryptoNight AMD GPU miner SRBMiner to version 1.7.0 brings improved hashrate in a number of the supported mining algorithms of up to about 10% depending on your GPU (most gains on VEGA) for the BitTube, Haven, Heavy and Italo algorithms as well as some small speed increase on CryptoNight V8 for VEGA GPUs. It also comes with support for a new mining algorithms – CN-Dark [CryoNote] and CN-Fest [Festival coin]. Do note that the developer fee is now ~0.85% for both normal mode and algorithm switching mode in the new version. There are also a number of other fixes and improvements, you can find the full changelog for the latest update below.

The latest update to the CryptoNight AMD GPU miner SRBMiner to version 1.6.8 brings support for a new mining algorithm – CryptoNight V8, this will be the new algorithm used by Monero (XMR) as Monero will fork on block 1685555 (around October 18th), so make sure you are ready to mine it after the fork to the new algorithm. The miner should now start up a little bit faster and there are some small performance improvements on some video cards. Also note that the developer fee is now ~0.85% for both normal mode and algo switching mode in the new version. There are also a number of other fixes and improvements, you can find the full changelog below.

SRBMiner V1.6.8 Full Cangelog:
– New Monero algo added (normalv8)
– Small speed increase on some cards
– Fee is now ~0.85% for both normal mode and algo switching mode
– Faster miner startup
– Pools with different algos can now be used in pools.txt, miner will re-init on switch
– Fixed bug when setting compute mode on more than 9 cards
– Fixed a bug showing bad date for ‘connected since’ and ‘average share find time’
– Gpu hashrate watchdog now won’t trigger if user is not connected to a pool
– reboot_script parameter removed and added ‘reboot_script_min_rig_speed’ and ‘reboot_script_gpu_watchdog’ instead
– Added more logging in gpu init part
– API parameters now have to be set in start.bat (--apienable, --apiport, --apirigname) , removed them from config.txt
– Press ‘o’ to switch to the previous pool from pools.txt
– If you add ‘stratum+ssl://’ before the pool address, TLS will be automatically enabled

The latest update to the CryptoNight AMD GPU miner SRBMiner brings binary kernels on the table, allowing the miner to load faster on some of the most popular AMD GPUs instead of having to compile the kernels on each start of the software. The binary kernels are also a solution to a problem with drivers 18.7 and newer that seem to generate bad kernels, even though these drivers are not recommended. The binary kernels are available for the following AMD GPUs: Vega 56, Vega 64, Vega FE, RX 470, RX 480, RX 570, RX 580, RX 560 and RX 560. Older AMD GPUs such as R9 2×0 and 3×0 series are still supported, but they will still be compiling kernels on each start. If you are having issues with the binary kernels you can just delete the BinaryKernels directory and the miner will once again generate them on each run. There are also some OpenCL optimizations, mainly on the Heavy algorithms, so you can get a few extra percent in them. There are also a number of other fixes and improvements, you can find the full changelog below.

SRBMiner V1.6.7 Full Cangelog:
– Now providing binary kernels for popular algos on mainstream cards (Vega56&64&FE, RX470&480&570&580, RX550&560)
– Auto setup for a lot of cards improved, especially for RX550, RX560
– A lot of OCL optimizations, mainly on Heavy algos (Heavy, Haven, Bittubev2, Italo)
– Removed --sendallstales parameter because it is now the default behavior (to send all stale shares)
– When using algo switching mining time is now showing total mining time, not just for the specific algo
– Now on every miner start a new log file is created, in the format of date-time in normal mining mode
– Added parameter --algoswitchmintime
– Completely setup everything for algo switching on Monero Ocean pools, you just need to edit your algo hashrates, and change wallet in the example files
